Smarter Newsletters. Higher Engagement.
Use audience feedback to refine your content strategy and maximize engagement with Inkwave's built-in newsletter polls.
What are newsletter polls?
Newsletter polls in Inkwave are interactive questions publishers drop into any issue with a drag-and-drop builder. Readers vote directly from the newsletter, results appear live, and creators use the feedback to understand audience preferences, build reading habits and increase engagement and clicks.

Use cases
Letting readers choose the next topic
A solo writer is unsure which of three ideas to cover next. They drop a multiple choice poll into the issue using the drag-and-drop builder, readers vote directly from their inbox, and live results show the favourite within hours. The winning topic becomes next week's issue, and readers feel heard.
Building a reading habit
A creator focused on engagement adds a short rating question to the end of each issue. Answering takes one tap, which turns passive readers into active participants and gives the creator a steady signal about what is working. Higher engagement can also help inbox placement over time.
Quick reader sentiment
A newsroom asks readers what they think about a developing story with a simple poll in the daily briefing. Results appear live as subscribers vote, giving editors an immediate sense of what the audience wants to know more about, and the poll is styled to match the newsroom's brand on every device.
Validating product ideas
A startup includes an open-ended poll in its product newsletter to ask which problem customers most want solved. Responses arrive in real time and help the team prioritize its roadmap with direct input from the people who use the product, without sending a separate research email.
